>>6061867
I disagree about the "more is better" argument. I think Chicago pizza is better because we are not hidebound by tradition and legal restrictions -- yes, there are actually laws in Italy regulating what can and cannot be done to pizzas:
http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/world/2004-05-26-pizza-rules_x.htm

So, in the U.S., and especially Chicago, we experiment away, and produce novel and interesting cuisine. In Italy, they're stuck with doing the same old boring same old, time after time again.

I dislike Chicago deepdish style, but anything is better than fucking Detroid style.

New York styled pizza is fucking great though, or anything homemade (since it always has it's own distinct style). I don't even know what you'd like a lot of chain pizzas, shit like Dominos or Pizza Hut doesn't seem to fall under the regular styles (and it's also shit).

How the FUCK does this even happen? It nauseates me to think that there are people like this in the world. We need to start controlling their diet more. They act like it's a human rights issue that they should be allowed to be fat and disgusting. I think it's more humane to tell them what they can eat than to round them up and put them in camps, which is the only reasonable alternative.

Of course they don't have to be lower quality--there's nothing stopping an American pizza cook from buying high quality ingredients. But experience has taught me that most American pizzas are made using cheap mass-produced "cheese" (if it can even be called that legally) and toppings.

if you want a doughy, cheesy, topping stuffed pizza, deep dish (assuming that is what you are calling american pizza) is pretty good. Italian style would then be thin crust pizza or regular pizza, which only varies based on the amount of time you allow the dough to rise before cooking it. I prefer Italian style pizza for 2 reasons, primarily because it is WAY faster than deep dish pizza, and because I can put less toppings on it and get a more balanced/complex flavor set up.

I wouldn't turn down a slice of either anyways.
